In addition to Pigs is Pigs, this volume contains the full texts of That Pup of Murchison's, The Great American Pie Company, and another favorite Perkins of Portland.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - The funniest short story I have read!
Pigs is Pigs, the title story is a hilarious account of a country station master determined to do things "by the book" when a consignment of guinea pigs arrives. The wheels of bureaucracy and the life cycle of guinea pigs lead to a hilarious story for young and old. You will never look at a guinea pig (hamster?) the same way again.
